Hen house is super cute, actually all the animals in this game are just lovely It's really interesting seeing this game come to life and grow into it's own each updated post. I like harvesting/farming type games and have played or tried most available. I can see the effort your putting into making this new & different and I totally love it. It's adding things like the interaction with pets makes this even more appealing for me. I'm wondering will blocky farm have timers? If so I'd hope to see things to do while waiting, thats been a lot of the reason I haven't stuck with many timer base games ...waiting 2-3 hrs for an animal or recipe to complete just doesn't work for me after a while, especially if I have nothing to do in game. I get that those games might be best played in short bursts of time, but for me I 'like the option of playing for a few min or a few hours ... Just my random thoughts ... Keep up the great work! Looking forward to Seeng this evolve even more
I was specially waiting for UI screenshots and I also love it! I'm a designer myself and I think the combination is great!
Yup! Such details will be surely fixed in the polishing phase. Thanks Really thanks. Your opinion is very important for us Thank you, Beth! <3 We will print your message to get motivation and mood boosters every day! This is exactly what we want to achieve! Yes, Blocky Farm will have timers, but we want the overall gameplay to be absorbing and entertaining all the time. For example, you will have to take care about your farm animals and pets. You will have to play with them, heal, clean up, you could even to teach your pets a new tricks. You will be able to decorate your farm with dozen of objects, you will have daily quests and *daily farm duties* which will have to be done! (And much more) But we will really thankful for any new idea to make our game better. Thanks for your opinion and have a nice day!
omg the art work is amazing ! What a beautiful work !!! i love farm game and for sure i ll try this one !!
Update #26 - BIG CHANGE - slots removed Hi all! Today we have something special for you. But let me show you another small features firstly. Please remember that we are still working on the old models and UI temporary graphics. Removing trunk obstacle animation Building opening animation Every finished building construction process is a happy moment for a player so we celebrate it in the right way ^^ ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHANGES SO FAR - SLOTS REMOVED - NEW CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM First of all, initially Blocky Farm had to be much simpler and less game. We wanted to make a small farm simulator, so 6 months ago we decided to base the game mechanics on the slots. We took the idea from the Fallout Shelter game. But the more we were developing our game, the more problems we started to see with slots. Slots put too many limits to the gameplay. Thats why we decided to get rid of them finally. Now player is able to construct buildings everywhere he wants to (only if there is a free space). Just take a look on the first sneak peek of this feature. This is a small step for mankind one giant leap for our BlockyFarm game Old construction system New construction system Locomotive And at last but not least, to awaken your appetite even more. We are proud to show you one of our best game models - Locomotive. Tweeting If you want to get the latest info about our project, please follow us on Twitter PS We wanted to say big thanks to all of you. Thanks for supporting our project and motivating us
I like the idea of slots being removed. Redesigning our farms could be a lot of fun. The Locomotive model looks great
Looks good, I like the art style. Not keen on the name however - Sounds too similar to many other game names on the App Store.
Oh soo nice,I've been looking for around a farm game like this.There's no farm game that could satisfy me from Harvest Moon ! I'll follow this thread ! Keep it up guys
Thanks! Thanks. Yes, we know that our game name sounds too similar to many other moedern game names. However in our opinion it is not such a bad name - it is descriptive, simple and fits to our game perfectly. Thanks Which part of Harvest Moon do you love the most? Maybe we could be able to implement it in our game?
I think removing the slots is a good idea The new UI is nicely done, love the details of this game keep it up, staying motivated is a hard thing in such a big project.
Update #27 - Advanced pet care and building effects We were still working on a new UI this week but however we have something new features. Please notice that some UI graphics and game models are temporary. Advanced pet care One of our duties is to take care about our pets. We’ve implemented first stage of advanced pet behaviours. Just take a look: Pet needs and thoughts showed as a cloud message Ill pet is ill Tired pet is tired Moveveor we’ve added new place a building effect And as always - new render - Silo building. It’s essential on every farm We would love to hear your feedback!
Hi all! We need your help! We can't decide which type of fields will be better for our game: A - Fields are more blocky, that looks nice from a distance, but up close they're not very attractive. B - Fields are more detailed, that looks bad from a distance, but up close they're more interesting we guess. Function Basically fields should inform a player about finished growth process and readiness for collecting. Issue How to show vegetables in a style A? How to show grains in a style B? Actually we have only one kind of grain: wheat. But there are other types of plans: sugarcane, bean etc. Thanks in advance! Carrots are in the center of the picture. Bigger resolution
Somewhere in between but still A. Definately. It's BLOCKY farm after all, and not another general farming game.
All right, 3 votes for B and 1 vote for A from you. We've got feedback from our friends too (yes, game devs still can have friends sometimes ) and it was mostly B. Thanks for your opinions
